O Mary, Mother of mercy and Refuge of sinners,
we beseech
thee, be pleased to look with pitful eyes upon poor heretics and schismatics.
Thou who art the Seat of Wisdom, enlighten
the minds that are miserably enfolded in the darkness of ignorance and sin, that they may clearly know that the Holy Catholic
and Apostolic Roman Church is the one true Church of Jesus Christ, ourside of which neither holiness nor salvation can be
found.
Finish the work of their conversion by obtaining for them the grace to accept all the truths of our Holy Faith,
and to submit themselves to the supreme Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth; that so, being united with us in
the sweet chains of divine charity, there may soon be only one fold under the same one shepherd; and may we all,
O glorious
Virgin, sing forever with exultation; Rejoice, O Virgin Mary, thou only hast destroyed all heresies in the whole world.
Amen.
Hail Mary, three times.
(Pius IX, Raccolta No. 579)
